To all Iwhom t may concer/n.'

Be it known that ll, 'GEORGE H. BELL, a citizen-of the United States, residing in the .borough ot Brooklyn, city of New York,

and State of New York, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in `Vaporizers, ot which the following is a speci-v ication.

This invention .relates to vaporizers for' generating steam and medicated vapor for medical use; andl it consists 1n the novel construction and combination of the parts here#J inatter fully described and claimed.

ln the drawings, Figure l is a iront view ,of a vaporizeroonstructed according to this invention. Fig. 2 is a sectional plan viewof the frame, taken on the line m-m in Fig. l. Fig. 3is a vertical section through the-vaporizer taken through the frame on the line y-g/ in Fig. 2, lE|`ig.. 4 is a sectional detail view, taken on /the line e-e in ll`ig..2. .l

An yannularlbase 2 of sheet metal is provided, and it has a central hole 3 for the lamp, and a series of curved slots 4 arranged circumferentially around the hole 3. The traine 5 is tubular, and is formed of thin sheet metal bent to cylindrical form,

andV provided with anopening 6 at 'its front I side for .the insertion and removal of the lamp. The frame is also provided with 1inlet holes 7 tor air at its lower part, and outlet holes 8 for the products of combustion above them. 'lhe vertical meeting edges of the sheet metal are preferably connected by a lap Joint or hook joint 9, and vertical slots' 10 are termed in the plate one on each side of the joint. A clip plate l2 is provided, and 1s inserted through the 'slots l0 from the inside of the iframe, andits projecting portions are bent around to form eyes lll.4 'lheseeyes secure the clip plate in prv# place, and loop-shapedl handlesv l5 are oted in them, and are used in handlin the vaporizer. 'lhev clip plate secures the'v ame Iat its-joint, and any approved `form .of joint projectin tongues 16 .which are inserted throuh t e slots d of the base, .and are bent mythe base so that'the frame and -its base are rigidly secured together." By

cuinfcrential rib 21 which rests on the bota tom or base when the holder .is inserted in the hole 3. Theh'olderis made to [it the' hole 3 snugly, so that the lamp cannot accidentally be displaced when they 'vaporizer is moved about 'and tilted. The wick tube 22 Patented -Juiy 1, 1919.

is connected to the alcohol holder lin, any

suitable way, and' a ,diaphragm plate 24%' is securedl to it soas-to' form a considerable space 25 between the plate24: and the holder. This diaphragm late prevents the downward passage of ame and heat to the alcohol holder, and the cool air which., enters through the inlet holes 7 circulates under the diaphragm plate and keeps the alcohol holder 4and the lower part of 'the wick tube coo v.

The boiler 28 is termed ofsheet metal, and it has a projection 29 aroundits upper edge which rests on the to ont the. trame.. A

and 3l.' .is a perforated-ou ported inthe neck 30. 'lhuscup is remov- 80. 'neck SO'is formed at t e top of; the boiler,

which is supable, and cotton'wool is placed 1n it, andis saturated with any suitable medicament, such as. benzoin in solution. n

A cap 32 is secured over the neck, and 1s provided with a conical projecting nozzle 33 for the escape ot steam or medicated vapor generated "in theboiler bythe heat of the lamp beneath it.

'lhe boiler or the cap lcan be turnedaround l to point the nozzle in any desired direction,

the vaporizerv can be placed Jon a table to inhale the steam, or it can be inoved about sired portion ot the'loody.

What l claimfis:

metal having yits permanently secured e5. Vb y'hand to applyajet ot steam to any de-'V together by a longitudinal joint, said frame having two relatively long longitudinal slots formed in it and arranged one on each side of the said joint, a clip plate having vits middle part arranged to bear on` the said joint on-the inside of the frame and having its side portions inserted through the two -slots and bent around to' form eyes and to bearon the outside of the frame thereby strengthening the joint, handles engaging 10 With the said eyes a boiler provided with an outlet nozzle an supported by the said frame, and means for heating the boiler arrangedundern'eath it inside the frame.
